How does your game fit the theme?
Our game allows the player to switch between two roles- a chicken, and a truck. It is interesting because you play against yourself, so the level of complexity depends upon the way you played in the previous level. You need to be calculative and play against yourself so that you win. The role you reverse is with yourself, but as a different character in the game, creating a new POV.

This game has a very nice difficulty gradienz!

Submitted

The longer you play, the more hellish the game will be. Superb concept!

Submitted

Really fun game, gameplay simple and complex at the same time.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Really good concept and addictive game :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

This game is very engaging. Building and playing through your own created chaos. Amazing. Great idea and good use of the theme. I wish you get to the top of the games. 

Developer

Thank you so much!!

That was really great! I liked it

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

This is a great game! Would be even better if it was expanded upon. Nice job!

Developer

Would love to expand it in the future. Thanks!

Submitted

It's fun, but I personally don't like endless games. But I like the music, art, and execution of the idea. Well done!

Developer

Haha, I see where you come from, endless games can feel like a task. But this game seemed more fun when it was endless, hence the design decision. Glad you liked the other factors of the game!

Submitted

I like how you constantly have to think ahead of your own actions. Basically, YOU decide the difficulty!

Developer

Yes, precisely! It's a great way to challenge yourself.

Submitted

In the wise words of someone from TF2, its a multiplayer game that you play alone! surprisingly satisfying and in depth when trying to get that score up there!

Developer

Yup! It sounds simple, but does go on to get more complex. You could definitely play this with a friend too, making the difficulty you set another person's problem. XD

Submitted

It was a fun game! Trying to create a path that allowed you to dodge the trucks but also to kill yourself in the next round is a nice little puzzle. Although it I feel you could've made it a little easier to tell if you were the ghost or actually playing. The art and music were also great.

Developer

That's a good point. Infact, we made a ghost chicken and ghost truck sprite but ran out of time to add it in. Glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted

I like the way I play against myself in this game. 
Even when I was waiting with the chicken, the next run the chicken was waiting to run on the road.
What a smart chicken, good job !!

Developer

Haha, thank you! The chicken can be as smart as you make it. 

This game is super creative and fun! I think you made the strategy spin on the classic road crossing game work really well. The style is also really cute. I tried my best but got stuck at 28 (likely due to poor planning). I hope you continue to develop this idea, because a more full game, maybe with different car types, level designs, etc. would be really really cool! Also, on the game page, the line "try dying, or die trying" is so clever LMAO

Developer

28 is a great score :)
Thanks for playing and giving such great feedback! Would love to expand the game like you've mentioned.

Submitted

I loved the complexity twisted on to an originally simple game. The music was also nice, even if it wasn't made during the Jam.

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted

Nice idea! Took a while for me to realise how I was supposed to place the truck, but once I figured that out I had fun!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

It seems like a good concept but I wasn't able to move the truck for some reason

Developer

Ah, that's because the truck can't be controlled; it moves on its own.
Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Fun game

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

I had a blast playing this game, original and addicting idea!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted

very fun! playing as both the chicken and the trucks is a unique twist, id love to see this expanded with more obstacles and more puzzles

Developer

Would love to expand the game. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

What an amazing concept! Such an enjoyable game ;D Good work!!!

Developer

Thank you!
